Profile Request May 2011

Regarding Channel 1:

What are the values 0-63?
I take it 64-127 is fade from low to high(higher numbers are brigher?)
128-191: Are there step values here for the various chases?
192-255: Is this similar to 64-127 where higher values mean brighter?

I honestly don't know Chris. I have never gotten the lights to function with Channel 1 on MY DMX. I created a profile to get them to work with DMX, but only the fade and color channels. I was incapable of setting up channel 1.

correction,, only the dimmer and color chnnels

OK, here's a fun one:

Where does your DMX addressing start for these fixtures? 1 or 0(how LOW can you go, not channels)

1

If you're new to MyDMX and new to the scan library editor, it can be confusing. You can set ranges to specific functions, so it's not impossible, it's just more work and harder to figure out. It also doesn't help that MyDMX will not dynamically update the profile attributes associated with the profile to the fixture. So, it's "tweak, re-load, test, repeat"

It appears that Channel 1, if you set it to 255, and the set channesl 2,3,4 to 255, you SHOULD get ALL white(RGB mixing). You don't need a profile to do this. Assign your fixture to DMX address 1, then just plug things in, launch MyDMX and move faders.

Keep in mind profiles make it easier for us to understand, but also lets the computer do things that would be more difficult for us to do individually(or at least more time consuming). At the same time, a DMX value is a DMX value and you've got 512 faders you can move.

Again: you DO NOT have to have a profile loaded to make MyDMX function. You move a fader, it sends DMX values. Plain and simple.

See if this works before you really proceed.

Hi Jingles, I have been reading the forums for a few days now and am so grateful there are people who still like to help others so thanks.

We recently purchased 10 Visage Block 6 LED Battons from Batmink in the uk.

I have looked everywhere for a profile for myDMX and had no luck in writing my own so could really use your HELP! Smiler

If you cant find the DMX traits for this fixture online, I can post them in a message to you.

We would like to us them in 20 dmx channel mode.

Any help would be great,

Thanks Jingles

Chris, I have over a dozen DMX type fixtures on my set up. The Omnisistem fixture I am using needs a profile so that I can include it in the over 60 scenes I am currently using. In order for me to take advantage of Channel 1, I need a correct profile

Actually, NO YOU DON'T need a profile to make a fixture function. All you need to do is set the values.

The NEED for a profile has been discussed at great length, only proving IN THE END that profiles are NOT needed. They help US as humans relate to the fixture better. They also help the computer be able to do some stuff for us, such as linking channels, grouping and FX stuff.

MyDMX works on a "snapshot" basis. Whatever you use for values are stored with the scene and/or step within a scene, regardless if you have a profile associated with those DMX channels or not.

I had to incorporate this one guy's pair of movers into a show, and lacking the correct profile, I said "to hell with it" and just kept the manual open to the DMX traits page. Adjusted scenes and everything with no problems.

Right now, I'm waiting to hear your results of a test of channels 1,2,3,4 being set to 255 and channel 5 set to 0. This should result in WHITE.

Take out channels 2 and 3 and you get blue, leaving channels 1 and 4 full on.
1 and 2 full on should be red
1 and 3 full on should be green.

See if that works.

Do you have the capability of scanning the manual page(s) that show DMX traits? I just get the feeling something is missing. Right now, the main thing I see missing is a manual being available online. So, short of someone sending me one to test with, it's best to wait for a maunal page to show complete DMX traits. Seeing as how you seem to have 16 of these units, yeah, it might be nice to have a manual.

Hey,

if it helps in the debate, a manual is available here :

http://www.omnisistem.com/pdf/LD-Par56-Pro-(5ch).pdf

By far one of the worst manuals ever.

If I get time tomorrow, I might burp out a profile. It's been a while because I've been using Compu Show and it does things differently.

But again, profiles aren't needed to see if somehting is working. DMX channel information is DMX channel information.

Here you go.

Jingles--thank you for the reply and profile.
Chris, I have no clue what you are talking about. All I know is that the MY DMX program requires a fixture profile to create the steps of the scene.
I have been using MY DMX for three years now.
I have a 260 some oddd channel ligt show. The last MY DMX update changed the profile creating routine. I have no clue how to make the new profile creator function. So now, I simply ask Jim (Jingles) for a profile when it is not in the scan library. I now have a profile from Jim, and I'm off to the races. Peace!

Thanks again as always Jingles!

Hi James and Chris

Thanks for having me on this site, its been a big help for a relatively new user.

Ive been looking everywhere for a myDMX profile for some LED fixtures we recently purchased. (A common problem I know)

I would be extremely grateful if you could help me by writing a profile for mydmx. I have uploaded the Fixture DMX traits here -
